Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed single-storey rear/side infill extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 75 Saviour's Road with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the proposed development on parking in the area, having regard to development plan policies which seek to reduce car usage and promote sustainable modes of transport; highway safety; and the living conditions of local residents
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupants of No 75 through loss of outlook and reduction in daylight caused by the proposed extension's height, siting and proximity to the boundary was determinative.
The harm to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the benefits of the residential conversion and extension proposal.

- Development plan policies
- SP4DM10DM16DM30SP8D3D6T2T3T4T6T6.1
